Then you must know <STRONG><U>HOW</U> </STRONG>to do it and finally, you must <STRONG><U>IMPLEMENT</U> </STRONG>the program correctly.&nbsp;</P> <P>The What-To-Do part of the "secret" has already been outlined. There are huge miscoceptions prevalent in baseball at the present time. Most important is the understanding of the source of power in throwing or hitting. At first glance, it would seem to be centered in the arms. After all, you hold the ball and bat with your hands. Therefore, do wrist curls, forearm and shoulder work. This should never be the main thrust. The exercises for these areas are called specific auxiliary exercises. The true source of strength and power for a baseball player is centered in the hips and legs. Look at the photos (will be added at a later date) of the two athletes shown from the waist down. One is Sammy Sosa who hit 40 home runs in three-fourths of a season. The other is of a Discus thrower. Notice the similarity of the hip and leg position as you look at their full picture.&nbsp;</P> <P>If a Discus thrower were to train like most baseball players, he would fail miserably because of lack of leg and hip strength and explosive power. Baseball players must Parallel Squat and Power Clean to develop their maximum power. If baseball players were to really get after these two lifts and do them correctly, you'd have to do one of two things. Either move the fences back another 50 feet or get used to football-like scores.&nbsp;</P> <P>Baseball players should also do quick foot drills, stretch for speed and jumping power, sprint train and plyometric train. We also do not want to overtrain in the weight room. The maximum time in the weight room should be 45 to 75 minutes three times per week in the off-season and two 30-45 minute workouts twice per week during the season.&nbsp;</P> <P>The How-To-Do-It part of the "secret" is even more important than the what part of the "secret". The correct and perfect technique of any phase of strength and conditioning is critical to success. There are special things to know and look for when stealing a base. The same is true for a Power Clean, Squat or stretching. You don't just tell a kid to steal a base or Squat without detailed coaching.&nbsp;</P> <P>Look at Lenny Dykstra. The above photo apeared on the front cover of Inside Sport Magazine and the front page of USA TODAY. Lenny knows <U>WHAT</U> to do and that is to stretch but he is turned the wrong way. Lenny Dykstra of the Philadelphia Phillies did not know <U>HOW</U> to do this Lower Back-Glute Stretch exercise. To learn exactly how to do each phase of baseball training, you should consider getting my two-hour video, book or have a clinic.&nbsp;</P> <P>The third part of the "secret" is to <U>Implement</U> correctly. At the high school level, possibly over half of the baseball players will play more than one sport. Things work much better if all coaches at a particular school are on the same page. Only about one percent of our nation's high schools are on a true unified strength and conditioning system. We need to be if an athlete is ever going to reach his potential.&nbsp;</iKE4ݬ};],??K=_ŢщS#l#V0?sV7jl77}?HkSݵ来d/V?mWV1ț,罌wbz?_N;&n?? X6_ 7{Photoshop 3.08BIM%8BIMHH8BIM&?8BIM x8BIM8BIM
